[Rob Hillier]

Why isn't there a beastiality section? I know it's not sanitary but still there should be a section.

 

[oggbashan]

I wanted to vote "Yes, it's disgusting" but couldn't.

So I voted "Yes".

[Elle_xxoo]

There is. "Extreme," located at the bottom of the story categories.

I didn't vote because you don't have an option: "No. To each his own, but I'd hate to see a great site like Lit have to deal with all the negative attention a bestiality section would generate, resulting in us possibly losing the chance to enjoy the less disturbing but still great stories we already have here."

 

[KillerMuffin]

I vote no. This is a privately owned site and the site-owners don't particularly care for that subject matter. So I think that they should not have content on the site that they do not want here. To do otherwise would be patently wrong. There's nothing quite like forcing people to do things they don't want to do just because you disagree with them.

 

[Dirt Man]

Our votes won't change a thing...

But I've voted a "Yes," because I do have stories with bestiality in them that I don't post here. However I do provide a link in my signature for those wishing to read about it.

I'm all for interracial, but I draw the line at interspecial.

As long as it doesn't involve elves, that is.

Indifference

I couldn't vote. There's no box for "I don't care because I won't go there anyway."

I've been meaning to write a story about a menage a trois with a woman, a turkey, and a giraffe. It would involve a ladder, though, and I'm not good with machinery.

What kind of animal is this?

 

[jfinn]

I voted no, but not because I think it's disgusting. Well okay, I do find it disgusting, but that doesn't mean I think my opinion should be the final word. No, I voted no for the same reason KM did. This site is private and the owners call the shots. And that's kind of the end of the discussion as far as I'm concerned.

Disgusting!

I don't think Laurel should allow *any* bestiality stories on Lit, unless they're really, really good ones.

NonHuman

Hmmm ... I guess the consensus is that bestiality is more nonhuman than nonhuman.

It's a GrathMil. They like to wander around near the sea puzzling people with their unusual appearance. GrathMil are also responsible for putting the sand in sandwiches.

The Numbers

The fact that only thirteen people have voted should demonstarte that there is little general interest in this topic either positive or negative. A pity. It's one of my fave topics of fantasy. ["I'm a perVECT!" Read that in a S.F. novel years ago.]

Unless there are more people expressing an opinion one way or another, this poll has little relevance.

I voted no because of the beast in my AV.

But had I known that this thread was about bestiality I would not have clicked on it.

By the way, I think that might be a Whammo Hulagirl. I spun one of those around my hips once, but my rhthym was bad and she ended up rotating around my socks.

 

[toknight]

I thought my 'Erotic Horror' was pushing the line of what is erotica, but beastiality? Beastiality holds absolutely no erotism for me. And if the site owners don't want it... Wow! The owners must be nice to be taking votes on it.

I agree that the owners have the right to call the shots but are you contradicting your signature?

I don't like beastiality either but some people find it an erotic fantasy. Who am I to say no? I will say No to child sex even as a fantasy because I believe that child abuse is too common.

Otherwise I believe in free speech and stand with Voltaire (a Frenchman and the French haven't been popular recently).

Bestality

What kind of animal is this?

I know! That's the rare and elusive pink crotched blondie in its natural state. Seldom observed.

Hey!!!
Oh, elves are allowed...
Cool, we were about to have words again until I caught that part.

Beastiality?
Doesn't Lit. have a rule about illegal topics? Isn't that how the minor's rule has been defended in the past? Besides, Lit. has an excellent reputation, I believe, regardless of the fact that it is often referred to as a "porn site." Why ruin what is working? Especially when the topic is most likely covered in that "Extreme" category Lit. links to as mentioned by Elle_xxoo.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

 

[SexyChele]

In the past I would have voted "no". However, since Lit now accepts snuff stories as a regular practice, I see no reason why those authors who wish to write such works should be banned to another site that is possibly less read.

Heck, if there is a category called "Bestiality" and people don't like it, all that needs be done is put a disclaimer at the top telling people what to expect, right? No biggie, so what is the harm?

I now vote "yes".

Hi Og,

I thought I made myself clear, but as usual it seems I was wrong. Sorry about that.

Actually, I couldn't agree with you more. While I said I didn't care for beastiality stories myself, I also stated I didn't think anybody should ever mistake that to mean I think it's my place to decide whether they should be allowed to exist.

I'll even go you one better and say that while I personally find sex stories involving children to be--with the exception of snuff--the most abhorrent form of erotica, I still believe it has a right to exist as long as it's completely free of real child involvement and kept in a controlled adults-only venue. (Of course there in lies the rub doesn't it? But lets not go there for now.)

All I was saying is that this is a private site and as such the final word of what goes on it is up to the owners. I'm fine with that because I have the power to decide whether I want to live by their rules or take my stories elsewhere. That's one of the nice things about the Net, there are an infinate variety of sites that satisfy a lot of needs and if none of those work you can always go to ASSTR and open your own free web page. They don't ban anything and I think that's great.

So yes, I think I'm true to my sig. I have to tell you I've always loved that Voltaire line, but my real favorite was written by another Frenchman about the witch trials in Europe still going on at the beginning of the Age of Reason.

@%$#%%$#^!!ing elves

Terry Pratchett makes quite a case against elves (unicorns, too) in his book "Lords and Ladies." Unicorns stink and elves are self-absorbed murderous SOBs. Sort of like cats.

Terry Pratchett can bash the snooty little elves all he wants, but he better not trash the unicorns, or he'll have to answer to me and Harry!
